In the qualifying rounds he beat Álvaro Gamba (Asturias), Diego Pérez (Asturias) and in the final Mario Alonso from Valladolid.
Pablo Fernández climbed to the first place on the podium.
Pablo Fernández, from less to more
For his part, Pablo Fernández (90 kilos), after his success in the Spanish Super Cup in Tortosa (Tarragona) last weekend, stepped on the podium again, this time in first place.
He beat the Asturians Mario San Martín and Joel Andreoletti, but fell to the Portuguese Joao Alves in the group stage. In qualifying rounds, he beat Asturian Marcos Fernández and, in the final, redeemed himself from his defeat against Joao Alves by beating him in the fight for gold.
